dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 12:55 am I've seen so many counterfeit Indian Head cents that I've become paranoid about the series. So, I clearly need to keep learning! What about this 1909? Is it genuine? If so, what grade would you assign? Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 07:47 am I agree with dd27, coins are getting made counterfeit every day and, it doesn't make any difference if it's a high priced coin or not. But, this one looks ok to me and I'd say F-15 Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 10:21 am I'd let it rest in some acetone for a bit. Nice overall appearance for this one with a stronger reverse. F12. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
dd27 Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 02/07/2017 11:49 am Thanks y'all! :O) Wow, a genuine IHC! It was a in a lot of 500 LWCs I bought awhile ago. Thanks BH1964 - acetone bath coming up! ;-) ... I think it's tape residue on the obverse, which acetone might remove. I'll follow BadThad's polarity ladder and soak in distilled water first, followed by the acetone for 20 minutes or so. ~ Mark Report this Post to the Staff

billjones Pillar of the Community United States 1499 Posts	Posted 02/08/2017 4:16 pm Genuine, VG-08 and nice for the grade. If this were a 1909-S Indian, the third party graders would call it "Fine." That is called grade-flatiron. Edited by billjones 02/08/2017 4:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff
